The full set of predictive Drawings

These drawings began as an analysis of the edge configuration of several completed sculptural sequences (Con(jug)ates 1,2,3 and 4 becoming predictive for Con(jug)ates 5, 6 and 7. When the seven drawings are together they visually summarize the disparities and relationships between patterns of symmetry occurring in complete or projected sets. The symmetrical properties of the primary shape vary from set to set.

Con(jug)ation 2:(click thumbnail to see larger image) Forms with rotational symmetry, mirror in xy, produce forms with centered symmetry in a sequence of forms and degenerates with left and right screw contained in each half.OSU Faculty Exhibition, Columbus, Ohio Sept. ’76. 2 Degenerates.

Con(jug)ation 3:(click thumbnail to see larger image) Mirror symmetric forms; congruent in either plane, produce forms with centered symmetry in a sequence of forms with right screw followed by a mirror sequence of forms with left screw.“10 from the File” Columbus Gallery of Fine Art, Columbus, Ohio. Jan ’77. 12 of 12.

Con(jug)ation 4:(click thumbnail to see larger image) Asymmetric forms, congruent in xy, show a sequence of individual forms with translational symmetry.Kent State University, Kent, Ohio. May ’77. 9 of 30.

Con(jug)ation 5:(click thumbnail to see larger image) Asymmetric forms, mirror in xy, develop individual asymmetric forms in left and right screw sequence.5 of 30 for Akron Art Institute, Akron, Ohio.

Con(jug)ation 6:(click thumbnail to see larger image) Combining a rotationally symmetric form with one of asymmetry projects asymmetric forms followed by degenerates.

Con(jug)ation 7:(click thumbnail to see larger image) Reversing orientation of asymmetric form as in Con(jug)ation 6 also projects asymmetric forms plus degenerates.
